WOAN ABVISERS POINTOUT NEWERA Americans Address Letter to Lady Astor Telling of Conference Progress. Bellef that the conference on the Iimitation of armament has marked @& new era in diplomacy and that the race for gigantic armies and navies by the powers of the world must end 1f civilization is to progress is voiced!| by the four woman members of the advisory committee to the American! delegation in a letter to Lady Astor, member of the British house of com- mons A communication to this effect, made public last night, signed by Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird, Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan and Mrs. Katherine Philips Ed- son, was sent in reply to a letter from Lady Astor, transmitting the views of Englishwomen relative to the arms parley, as expressed through eighty- seven national organizations. The letter read as follows: Text of Letter. “We rejoice to hear from you that the women of England, through eighty-seven national organizations, have expressed their ‘determination to fight war' and that ‘the desire for a policy of international good will and international fair play is every bit as strong in England as here. We feel that you speak with authority, which gives us an added assurance that a way will finally be found to bring relief to an overbur-| dened world and peace to the war- weary and grief-stricken nations. “Certainly President Harding is rep- resenting our people of the United States with wisdom and understand- ing. He, called the conference on the limitation of armament now sitting largely from the demand of the people. He appointed women on his advisory committee in recognition of their part in the winning of the war and of their vital concern in the adjustments of as well as their political Public Opinion Volced. “This conference has marked a new era in diplomacy. We now realize that here in America, as in other countries, public opinion has found its new way to power and is affecting the course of statesmen who once could settle everything behind closed doors. “We do not agree with those people who have littie faith in the outcome of this conference, who believe that Jations having been selfish and having settled their disputes by war, must itherefore continue to do so. 'These people are filled with suspicions and call for more armament and increas- ing preparation for war, begetting a it of fear and distrust. We believe with you that the great war has taught us the need of peace and that no nation can stand by itself. We believe that if we want our type of civilization and culture to endure and to progress that this fierce race for armament must cease. We all know that another world war would be more swift, more extensive. more | destructive than the last. and might well be the beginning of the degenera- tion of our race. Side Issues Brushed Away. “The conference was called togeth- er two weeks ago. Already the decks have been cleared for action,'all side issues brushed away, and a concrete, far-reaching proposal for immediate limitation. of naval been advanced by the United States and accepted in principle by the two other great naval powers—England and Japan. ‘Now must come the vast and stu- pendous work of adjusting the de- tails to these principles, of little by little removing the suspicions, the hatreds, the fears of age-long exist- ence. As you so. aptly said. ‘The only way to get peace is to work for brotherhood, to face up the suspicions and injustices that beget suspicions, and to do a_great deal of patient and bonest spade work. “Must See Task Finished. early a million of the best of your manhgod, as fitty thousand of ours, fell fighting on the fields of battle. They fought that the menace of German imperialism and all that it denoted should be crushed forever. 1t is for us to see that the task s finished. “We wish to thank you for your greeting with its message of faith. We feel that we women especially should join together and co-operate in demanding that the ideas and pur- poses enunciated in the great speeches delivered by our President and our Secretary of State on the opening of the conference shall come to pass.” Gude’s Flowers for_every’ festive occasion. 1214 F.—Advertisement.

NEW YORK, November 26.— Red tape of Ellis Island was swiftly unwound today to save the life of fourteen-year-old Manuel Salones, who arrived from Panama on the steamship Colon late yes- terday to undergo a delicate brain operation -at the hands of Dr. Charles H. Frazier of Philadelphi The lad traveled with funds subscribed by residents of Panama City, with whom he was popular because of his ambitious nature and studious habits. His father bore a_letter from Willlam Jen- nings Price, United Stated minister to Panama, bespeaking the aid of immigration officlals and explain- “ing that “the entire population of Panama” was deeply interested in the boy's race with death. Immigration laws required that Manuel be placed in a_ hospital. for observation, but when R. H. Landis, assistant Immigration commis- sioner, learned the facts he per- mitted Manuel to proceed to Phila delphia today. WOULD END WARS BY BANNING BABIES }Mrs. H. T. Upton Tells Club | That Women Will Refuse to | Bear Children to Be Shot. Peace will come to the world be- cause the women will not produce war-loving generations. They will refuse to bear children to be shot and killed in warfare. And women, who in former times have given their whole-hearted devotion to the home, will in the future increase this de- | Votion until by bestowing it upon the nation and its government war will | be made impossible and unthinkable. These predictions were made dur- |ing an_ address vesterday afternoon at the luncheon forum of the Wom- en's City Club by Mrs. Harriet Tay- {lor Upton. | Asks Support for Conference. | She described the situation at- tendant upon the international con-| ference for limitation of lrmamrntl as one which will need not only the | undivided attention of each delegfllei attending the conference, but also the support of the people whom the delegates represent. And upon the latter. she said, falls the greater part of the burden on which the success the discussion hinges. “It is terrible to think that nations | of Christians,” she said, “professing to follow the doctrine of Christ and | to walk in the ways of peace, were engaged in the greatest war of the world. “We all know that eventually mus: come peace. There may be pessimists !on this subject, I nave talked to military men, and they tell me, ‘Bosh, there has alwavs been war. and there will always be war.' 1 try |'to talk to laymen. but they will not talk freely with me, probably because I am only a woman and not sup- posed to know very much about such things. I i Sees Power in Vote. “But since we have gained power at the polls and what might be called a weapon in the vot are in a position to get what we want. are afraid of us in politics. don’t know what we are going to do next. But we've got our weapon, whether it is a pitchfork, or a ham- mer, or a mallet, and we know what we want when it comes to the ques- tion of peace, so do not let us be afraid to go out and get it. ~I have the greatest confidence American womanhood. I am sure that body will give as great devo- tion to the nation as they Lave giv in the past to the home alone. Don't let a single person discourage you by saying that we will always have war because we always have d war. We have not always had he sub- marine, or the airplane, or the auto- mobile, or the railroad. We did rot always have them, but we have them now. So with peace, universal peace. 7 We might not yet have it, Lbut “re're | going to get it, and we will have it |always. Mothers Will Protest. “Another reason why we are going to do away with war is because {mothers will refuse to bear children |to be shot. The mothers of the na- tions will protest against it In this manner. And when women cry out I notice that generally the other fel- low sits up and takes notice.” At the speakers' table were Mrs. Laura Bradley, who was in charge of the forum; Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus- sey, Mrs. Lyman B. Swornistedt, Mrs. Ellis Meredith, Miss Emily Mew, Mrs. Robert E. Wilson and Miss Gertrude Van Heusen. | TAKE FARMHAND AS SLAYER. DUBUQUE.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 26.—The ‘govern- ment’s recruiting bill to raise a nu- cleus of professional soldigrs as the stabilizer of a smaller conscripted army under the proposed eighteen months' service was filed today with the army commission of the chamber of deputies. This bill is still indefi- nite in its terms, but its advocates consider it capable of producing 100, Wwork of a big hrmy in case of general mobllization. The bill, coupled with Premier Bri- and’s declaration at Washington of a reduction in the army, has resulted in much discussion among military men and parliamentarians. It is agreed that the country de- mands eighteen months' service, and this probably will be adopted, but there are wide differences of opinion as to what force France should main- tain. This doubtless will take a fore- most place in the debates in the chamber and senate after M. Briand re- turns to Paris. Would Maintain 250,000. Eighteen months’ service, it is esti mated by the members of the army commission of the chamber, would maintain a force of a quarter of a million men. This is based on the fact that there are about 300,000 men of military age annually, out of whom could be drafted about 170,000. Some think, however, that there would be such pressure in time of peace for the most liberal exemptions that each class would yield only 110,000 to 120,- 000 men. From these, therefore, could be raised an army of a class and a half, amounting to 165,000 to 180,000. In addition, contingents could be re- cruited from among professional sol- diers, as well as Moroccans, Sengalese and orfentals. Desire to Reduce Army. Members of the commission assert that the plans of the military au- thorities call for a total force ap- proaching half a million men. But there is an evident desire by the chamber to reduce the army to the smallest number compatible with the country’s safety. M. Barthou, the war minister, an- nounced in the chamber on Thursd: months was dependent upon the pass sage of the physical training bill and upon the recruiting and formation of African units. This physical train- ing bill provided obligatory military training from sixteen years of age until conscription. Former Soldiers Can Enlist. The new recruiting bill approved by the cabinet Thursday authorizes the enlistment of former soldiers up to the age of thirty-six yvears, for two years and upward. What in- ducement will be offered to attract professional soldiers has not been g:;:;’::.’-’edil The whole matter of the ization of the army pepiing. y Is still e three years' service law has not yet been abrogated, but the gov- ernment, with parliament’s approval, is applying the two-year plan. The army. numbering now about half a million, is being reduced by the evacuation of Cilicia, from which place a shipload of the class of 1919 had returned. Others will return as shipping becomes available. SECRETARIES-GENERAL GUESTS OF J. W. GARRETT Spending Week End at His Home, Evergreen, Md.—Diplomats in Party.

He takes down the English remarks in short- hand and _immediately translates them into French when the speakers finish. When the speaker has used French he reverses the operation. When Arthur J.

He was caught in a new pose this week, however. The delegates were leaving a meeting in the Pan- American building.
